"Take A Chance On Us"
Chapter 7
Kim couldn't believe it, Jimmy was awake. I'm not seeing things, am I he is really awake, thought Kim to herself.
"You're awake!" smiled Kim as she hugged Jimmy. "What happened?" asked Jimmy as he tried to sit up.
"You were in an accident," Kim said as she sat down next to him. Jimmy could remember a tiny bit about the accident but not much.
"I'll go tell the doctor that you are awake," smiled Kim as she went to find the doctor.
"Okay," smiled Jimmy.
Kim and the doctor walked into Jimmy's room. "It is nice to see that you finally decided to wake up, you has us a little worried. Kim stood next to the doctor, as he was checking Jimmy.
"Miss, do you think that you could step aside while I check out my patient. " Sure," said Kim as she moved away from the doctor.
"When do I get to go home?" asked Jimmy.
"Wait, you just woken up, you are going to have to stay here for a few days for observations,"
"Do I have to?" asked Jimmy impatiently." I feel fine,"
"Yes, Mr. Doherty, you need to stay here,"
"Okay, fine," said Jimmy who was too weak to argue with the doctor.
"Can you feel your legs?" asked the doctor softly.
"Yes, I can." Jimmy said. He is going to be okay, she thought to herself.
"Well, everything looks to be okay, just get some rest, and you should be out of her in no time,"
"Thank you," Jimmy said.
"Can I spend a few minutes with Jimmy?" asked Kim to the doctor.
" Sure, but only for a few minutes, as he needs his rest," said the doctor as he left the room.
"Okay," smiled Kim, as she sat down next to Jimmy. "Don't you ever do that to me again," Kim cried.
"Kim, stop crying, I'm fine," said Jimmy as he took Kim's hand. Kim wiped away her tears." I know that you are going to be okay, but I was so worried that I was going to lose you," Jimmy went to hug Kim to try and calm her down, but when he moved his back, he was in a lot of pain, but he definitely wasn't going to let her know that, as she has been through enough already.
"Jimmy, don't move too much, you are still sore from surgery,"
"Kim, I'm okay," said Jimmy. "Joey doesn't know about the accident, doesn't he?"
"I told him last night," Kim then realize that Joey doesn't know that his father was going to be okay. Kim got up from her seat. "I have to go home and tell Joey that you are going to be just fine."
"Okay, "yawned Jimmy. " Kim," Kim turned around. "Yeah, are you okay? Do you need me to get the doctor?
"I'm fine…. I just wanted to say that I love you," he said. Kim went up to Jimmy, and leaned over and kissed him "I love you too," she said as she walked out of his room. She couldn't stop thinking about Jimmy. They have been giving a second chance, and she wasn't going to mess it up this time, nothing was going to go wrong, nothing.

Kim walked into her apartment, and it was dead quiet. " I guess Joey is still asleep," she thought to herself. She then turned the lights, and saw her mom sleeping on the couch. Kim took her jacket off, and went into the kitchen to make herself some coffee. She couldn't wait to tell Joey that his father was awake, and was going to be okay, and that we can finally be a family.
She then quietly walked into Joey's bedroom to kiss him goodnight. She went up to his bed, and saw that he was gone . She ran out of his room. "Mom, where is Joey?" Kim asked distressing. Kim's mom slowly woke up." He is asleep, I checked on him just a few hours ago,"
"Well, he is not there," said Kim nervously. "Joey is gone,"
